Wouldnt that be plural of man?
Jim
Never thought of viri, but it makes sense...
hippopotamus -> hippopotami
radius -> radii (probably where "virii" comes from)
virus -> viri (of course!)
FWIW, Dictionary.com comes down squarely on the side of viruses:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=virus - pl. viruses
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=viri - no terms found
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=virii - no terms found
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=viruses - 3 terms found
